I met Evan at the King Sooper's on Taft @ Elizabeth. We left the
parking lot at 9am and were on the trail at 10:14 after airing down. We
were at the upper clearing / intersection at 10:55am. The trail was
fast (after being bladed by the FS last season). Speeds were 9 to 15mph
(vs 4-9mph). 12:24pm found us at the exit trailhead with 23 minutes
airing up (4min per wheel for me).
Of note, Evan has a central
(4-air hoses, connected) deflation / inflation system. His deflate time
was the same as it took me to deflate 3 tires. I use the valve core
removal method, his did not, but was able to have all four deflating at
the same time.
For inflation, his process would have been
about the same (25% faster than me) except one air chuck did not seat
and released inflation pressure making for each to be the same time.
My
tires are 35" and deflated from 24psig to 12psig. Inflation, I simply
give them 4 minutes with the air pump (which brings them back to about
24psig).
I was back to home at 2:15pm with 105 miles on the odometer. |
